Emergency Glass Cockpit - Levil BOM - avionics certification is progressing

Does it have PT heat or it’s not politically correct to ask for IFR

You are prob99 correct, @Peter, as it goes straight to the Levil website from here (US). Must be an IP based redirect.

One problem with this is that if you get an instrument failure, you may have to transition to the backup very fast, and that isn’t going to happen if you have to fumble around with a tablet or a phone.

That happens in an instant. You simply switch from one source to the other. In the case of an iPad connected to a Garmin Flightstream over Bluetooth you simply switch to the WiFi connection, which you can keep open. Alternatively, you simply run two tablets, one on Bluetooth and one on WiFi. It may even work automatically. I’ve only tried that with a secondary Bluetooth device (DUAL GPS) where the iPad switches over when losing the connection from the panel.

Isn’t there a number of gadgets out there which contain an “AHRS” and display an “instrument panel” on a tablet?

I see no certificate issue in Chrome. The original URL is
https://shop.levil.com/collections/ilevil-series/products/bom
and it redirects to
https://www.adamsaviation.com/?i=378528

Thanks, @Dimme, that’s weird, although it does led to the product. Here’s the link I wanted to provide:

The first link you provided has an invalid SSL certificate and may not even open in some browsers.

Found this today, don’t think we have discussed it here yet. The LEVIL BOM FAA approval seem legit, see here..

Seems to me agreat and rather inexpensive instrument backup. Thoughts ?

NORSEE approved by the FAA makes it a minor alteration…sign off. Not sure how EASA views these things…

Sure, but what about your radio, your headset, your GPS, the tablet used to display the traffic? Except for a (very low spec) headset, all these need power.

You can receive ADS-B IN and generate a bluetooth interface to a tablet with, probably, some tens of milliamps.

I can see the ease of installation (no wires) but an ADS-B IN device does not have to be outdoors.

I would have thought that the point of the generator was to make it free of battery dependency.
